	A '''running change''' is an alteration made to a toy in the middle of its production run such that two distinct (in some way, often quite minor) toys result, which are considered the "same toy" by the manufacturer, carrying the same wave identifier and (usually) the same internal product code.		#REDIRECT [[Variant]]

	~~Running changes to~~ [[Toy\|''Transformers'' toys]] can range from a simple assembly tweak or a minor part [[retool]] to a full-blown [[redeco]], though the latter example is much more rare nowadays (especially since it seems stores can't get ''enough'' Transformers product, making it easier to put out a redeco as a "new" product). Running changes may also apply to the packaging of the toys.


	~~==Examples==~~

	*[[Transmetal]] [[Rattrap]]'s neck-hinge was retooled to include a "catch" that keeps his head upright better in robot mode.

	*The original bone-tan and purple deco for [[Dinobot II]] was changed to bright white with blue.

	*The Wal-Mart [[exclusive]] [[Dinobots (toyline)\|Dinobots]] toyline had the name "Swoop" changed to [[Terranotron (Dinobots)\|Terranotron]] on the toy's ID sticker after initial shipments.

	*[[Classics (2006)\|Classics]] [[Bumblebee (G1)\|Bumblebee]]'s air scoop on the roof of his car mode was made a touch bigger after the first half of his run when it was found that the [[rubsign]] did not fit on top of the scoop itself. Classics [[Cliffjumper (G1)\|Cliffjumper]] was made from the bigger air scoop [[mold]], as were [[BotCon]] 2007's [[Bug Bite (G1)\|Bug Bite]] and Classics Bumblebee from the Wal-Mart [[exclusive]] "Legacy of Bumblebee" 3 pack.
